My 2017 Canyon did the same thing when new and they reprogrammed it and fixed it and it went away. I always thought the dealership could do the same thing, although completely different 8AT. The reason I say my Gladiator shifts like a dream is because you can’t even feel it shift and it’s super responsive and intuitive and always in the right gear.

My powertrain warranty just expired so all I can do is rely on documentation of reporting the issue a few times if it fails.
I guess if the dealership won’t perform a “quick relearn” on the transmission, you could with a diagnostic tool that has that function. Did they ever give you a reason they wouldn’t do it? Have you done a pan drop yet?

What diagnostic tool do you need to do it?

It’s never been opened. I have been thinking about the 60k fluid change mentioned in here.

I have the MUCAR CDE900 Pro. It has the “quick relearn” adaptive feature and resets for most everything. I think JSCAN can do it too, I’m not sure.

These clunks you guys are hearing and feeling, have you drawn oil samples and sent them in? If you’ve got this shifting problem, you’ll see elevated wear numbers in the reports and be able to document the findings into your dealership file.

Forget about the assuming “it’s normal” response from the dealership… that’s just a lazy response firmly seated in BS and guessing.
I'm in that camp too. They dont want to have to rebuild or replace . Too much work for most shops . The problem with computer stuff they think everything is solved with a flash ..etc...

Mine hasn’t changed. 2020 with 60k. I have lots of documentation of having them look at it when it was under warranty so I’d make them fix it if it went out.
I got over 2x your mileage also .
